Description

Shady. Slippery rock. Sport routes. A couple of two pitch routes available.

Getting There

Off the SP92 between Zafferana Etnea and the tourist area "Rifugio Sapienza" on Mt. Etna. Heading up the mountain toward the top from Zafferana Etnea, keep an eye out (difficult to miss) for small, ruined buildings with graffiti on them "FISH" on the right side of the road. Walk between the buildings, find the fence with the opening made for a very small person to walk through it, walk straight ahead away from the fence, find two signs in the ground, make a left from them. Signs posted along the trail that prohibit hikers from diverting from the current trail. Easy uphill hike. Cross the wooden bridge.
